Swim Academy is excited to invite all interested players to join our upcoming local Swimming event at the Walsall Gala Swimming & Fitness Centre. It's going to be a fantastic opportunity to showcase your skills and compete against other talented swimmers in the area.
For those looking to improve their swimming abilities, Swim Academy offers a wide range of swimming lessons for children, toddlers, and babies. Our qualified instructors follow the Swimming Teachers Association (STA) syllabus, ensuring that each lesson focuses on building confidence and perfecting technique in the water. We believe that swimming should be both enjoyable and safe, which is why our classes incorporate fun activities, games, and songs to engage and motivate our students.
Group lessons are available throughout the year, excluding bank holidays and two weeks during Christmas. Children can stay in a group for as long as they need, gradually progressing and moving up to the next stage when they feel ready. We also offer individual 30-minute lessons for those who prefer more personalised attention.
To make our lessons accessible to everyone, our group lessons cost £24.50 per month (Direct Debit only), while individual lessons cost £17.00 per session. The booking process is simple and hassle-free. You can complete our call back form or email us, and we'll get back to you with availability.
At Swim Academy, we cater to swimmers of all ages and abilities. Here's a breakdown of the classes we offer:
